BRITISH INDUSTRIES FAIR, 1931
The attached Memorandum has been prepared, as in previous years, for the
purpose of giving information respecting the Fair, together with general
instructions, to His Majesty's Trade Commissioners, Commercial Diplomatic
Officers, Consular Officers and Imperial Trade Correspondents.
Note. —This circular raeniorandum has been sent in duplicate to:—
(1) H.M. Representatives for information, with extra copies for communication to
Commercial Diplomatic Officers and Superintending Consular Officers.
(2) Usual outlying posts.
(3) H.M. Trade Commissioners.
(4) Certain Imperial Trade Correspondents.
I.— Date and site.
1. The Fair, the 17th of the series, will be held from the 16th to the 27th
February, inclusive, at Olympia, London, and Castle Bromwich, Birmingham.
The former section will be organised by the Department of Overseas Trade, and
the latter by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce under the auspices of the
Department. The sections are complementary to one another, the whole forming
the British Industries Fair. A schedule is sub-joined showing the allocation of
the trades to the London and Birmingham sections.
II.— Growth of the Fair.
2. As explained in Overseas Trade Circular (Ref. 33500/29) of the 10th
August, 1929, the transfer of the London Section of the Fair to Olympia last
February necessitated a reduction in its size, as only some 260,000 square feet
were available at Olympia as compared with 320,000 square feet occupied by
the London Section of the 1929 Fair at the White City. For the 1931 Fair,
however, the remaining two floors of the new Empire Hall will be ready tor
occupation, thereby increasing the exhibiting space available to some 300,000
square feet. The area occupied by the Birmingham Section of the 1930 Fair
was 200,000 square feet under cover and 13,000 square feet in the grounds.
There were about 2,000 exhibitors in all (London and Birmingham).
3. The attendances at the 1929 and 1930 Fairs were as follows—
